神舟21号乘组乘22号返回舱安全返回
China's Shenzhou-21 astronauts have safely returned to Earth after a six-month mission. Interestingly, they did not travel in their own spacecraft. Instead, the three crew members came back in the return capsule of the Shenzhou-22 mission. This capsule swap was part of a planned procedure for the space station program.
The capsule separated from its propulsion module high above Earth. It then deployed parachutes and fired small engines to slow down. The craft touched down in Inner Mongolia as planned. Rescue teams quickly reached the site. They reported that all astronauts were in good health. During their time in orbit, the crew performed many tasks. These included scientific experiments and spacewalks to maintain the station.
